Re: OFFICIAL: New Panamera (2016)
I don't get the idea for a diesel Panamera, even if it is the great Audi V8 diesel. And at 150K+ EUR...what' the point? I've driven that engine and it's the best diesel in production but it's still no match for a petrol V8 turbo. No way. Someone who truly appreciates driving can't be fooled by the torque and will always be bothered by the characteristics of the diesel engine. The whole car has been designed to be sporty and to have as much as possible from the 911 genes even at the expense of some practicality....and then to put a diesel engine to it to save some money on the gas pump...Not cool.
It's like putting a quartz mechanism in a high-end swiss watch...
